  1. Estimated relative effective spin and orbital contributions to the magnetic moment assigned to palladium as well as the ratio of orbital-to-spin magnetic moment and total magnetic moments per palladium(II) ion in 6 T at 4.3–4.6 K as extracted from experimental spectra using estimated numbers of unoccupied d states \(n_h^d\) from DFT. The white line intensity was estimated from simulated data.
